Yondr Group has secured a 163-acre site in Lancaster, Texas, for a new hyperscale data center campus designed to deliver up to 550MW of critical IT load. The site, located just south of Dallas, places the company in one of the most competitive U.S. data center markets. Construction is slated to begin in 2026, with the project set to create new jobs, generate local tax revenue, and support regional suppliers during its build-out and operation.
The Dallas development is Yondr’s first major U.S. expansion move under new CEO Aaron Wangenheim. It adds to the company’s North American portfolio, which includes 96MW across two facilities in Northern Virginia and a 27MW data center in Toronto. Yondr is also in discussions for additional sites in other tier-1 metros, while continuing its European expansion with assets in London, Frankfurt, and Amsterdam.
Backed by DigitalBridge and La Caisse, Yondr is positioning itself as a key provider of hyperscale infrastructure. The Lancaster project represents a significant step in its ambition to serve cloud and AI workloads at scale in the United States. The company says the Dallas investment is only the start of a broader push into U.S. tier-1 markets.

🌐 Analysis: Founded in 2019 and headquartered in London, Yondr has built its strategy around hyperscale-only campuses, focusing on rapid delivery and standardized designs that can be replicated globally. The company emerged quickly with the backing of institutional investors, most notably DigitalBridge and Canada’s pension fund manager La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ). This financial foundation has allowed Yondr to pursue large-scale projects in Europe and North America without relying on joint ventures with operators, a model many peers use. The Dallas project signals the company’s intent to aggressively scale into the U.S., where competitors such as Digital Realty, Compass, and Equinix have already planted deep roots. With demand for AI-ready infrastructure accelerating, Yondr’s single-minded focus on hyperscale campuses may help it carve out a strong position against established incumbents.
